At the footy!

May 04, 2008 18:40

Yesterday was a surreal day.  Not only did I play in my first Aussie Rules Football match, I met a bunch of guys from the SportsLogos.net boards at the Phillies Game.  That was pretty awesome.  But that's for the next post. ( This one is all about footy. )

Great picture Mr. Brain! Next time you will have to get more then just one handball (remember, a good WAFA game is scoring at least 90 points). ;)

Also, it was great meeting you Saturday night. We will have to get together again soon.

Saw your post on .

Good luck! That is awesome that Aussie Rules is played here in the US. I just moved here in Feb. and I'm really missing the footy. Not sure if they have a team where I live (not that I would play it myself, since I'm a girl) but I love watching it. And it's not the same watching it at a Japanese bar - which is the only place that shows it here without us having to pay for Setanta Sports TV.

Anyway, good luck!

Ah, Thanks. ^_^

They do have women's footy, but to my knowledge the only teams are in Atlanta, Denver, and Phoenix. As for regular teams, I know that there is one in St. Louis and one in Kansas City. There's more info at USFooty.com. ^_^

Oh no, I have no intentions on playing :) We were taught it in primary school and I sucked and bruised my foot so bad because I didn't know how to properly kick it (not to mention not having proper shoes).

Thanks for the link, will need to check it out.

Also, do you barrack for a particular Aussie team? Hawthorn Hawks perhaps? :)

Not... really. I mean, if I had to pick a team, I'd say Geelong, though I really want a Dockers jumper. ^_^ I do like the Hawks.
